Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is more in your case.
Fever is up and down in nature for 1 week in URTI.
So no need to worry much for this fever.
Follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in URTI.
1. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
2. Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 5-6 times a day.
3. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid hard to chew food.
4. Take paracetamol tablet round the clock (8 hourly). Also start antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine).
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1 week.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
